[merge] document the pack format

One of the review suggestions for the pack branch is that there should
be some overall developer documentation for how it works, to help
people who need to maintain or extend it later.

This doesn't cover every detail but does duplicate some things covered
in docstrings.  That's ok; the point is to tell people where to start
looking.

I did remember to link this in to the developer/index.txt but that's
in a separate change.

The new name in the heading is because it was suggested in review (and
accepted by Robert iirc) that GraphKnit was not a good name.

I'm interested to hear from both people who are familiar with the
packs code, and those who are not:

 * is anything incorrect
 * is there anything not explained but should be
 * does it give a reasonable overview?
